We got all dressed, put on her backpack (please notice the home made Elmo sticker on the back). OK I'll tell you the story. Teacher said that we needed a backpack and being out of the loop on the back to school shopping, we didn't get one back in June like everyone else that is in the loop.
This being the case, we missed out on the Elmo backpacks. In fact, there really wasn't much of a selection by the time we went backpack shopping. Now would be a good time to mention the fact that I promised to produce an Elmo backpack. This is the last time that I promise something before I know if I can deliver.
All hell broke loose of course and I sent DH to the store to no avail. He had a great idea of making our own Elmo backpack. He looked up an Elmo picture, printed it out on sticker paper, cut it to size and stuck it on the backpack!
Teacher told me it took them 45 minutes to get the backpack off of her. She had a great day and loves going to school!
